What is prtConsoleNumberOfDisplayChars?

This read-only value reports how many characters fit on one line of the printer's physical front-panel display, and is 0 if the device has no display at all. An admin can check it before pushing a custom message via prtConsoleDisplayBufferText, so the text isn't truncated on a small 16- or 20-character display.
